Trident/Vanguard

I am Phil Gates a long time history buff, war gamer and modeler from New Zealand. The historical periods that interest me are many and varied, and I read about a lot more than I game or model. And like a lot of people I love painting soldiers and making models (although I am no master), and I love looking at other peoples work.

I recently diverged my interests a bit, when I took possession of the Trident Designs and Vanguard Men-at-arms ranges previously distributed by the Miniature Service Center. This won't be the first business I have run, but it will be the first business I have run that is focused on my hobby. I am really looking forward to expanding these ranges and adding some nice new figures.

So as well as introducing myself I just wanted to let people know that these figures are available and I will have a website up in the next six weeks or so. I will advise when that has been achieved.
